A day in the life of... Tecumseh!



Tecumseh was delighted to tell us all about his day.  Tecumseh though is very loquacious and decided to even write his story from his point of view.  We hope you enjoy!

Hi!  My name is Tecumseh but my friends all call me Tec.  I'm an itchy yellow lab who loves to come to play at Preferred Pet Care.  I'm so excited that today I get to tell you all about my day.

My day began with Doug picking me on the taxi.  I love car rides.  I was delighted to see Doug saved me a seat on the bus, I enjoy a window seat but unfortunately I can't stick my head out, oh well.  On our way to daycare we stopped along the way to pick up all my buddies.  I couldn't wait to get to daycare I was ready to play!

Once we arrived at daycare I got to run around with my "bus mates" in our own private yard as Tim watched us.  I'm ready to go to the big group I kept saying to him, but silly humans don't speak Bark.  I even tried my hand at my Bow-wow but humans don't seem to speak that either.  Finally he must have understood my woof-woof and I got to join Brian and all my four legged friends in the main play group.  Yes!  Floyd was there!  Fabulous, Floyd and I are somewhat of handful when we get playing we get all the pups crazy!  Don't worry it's all in good fun we just don't listen when we are in the play zone.  
After playing with Floyd for a while I decided it was time to start our daily howl.  I'm not much of a howler.  But since Page—who in my opinion is the best howler—wasn't here today I figured I would try my hand at leading the daily howl. I am a natural born leader.  I'm Tecumseh I’m names after a Native American leader.  Bark bark, woof-woof, bow-wow.  Nope something was missing I could t get my pitch right.  “Don't worry”, Stanley said, I will show you, “HOWwwwwl!”  It's all in dragging out the “w”.  “Hhhhowl”, Frodo said, “No Stanley it's all about dragging out the ‘h’ to get the proper howl.”  “No way!” Stanley said.  “Ah, yes way”, said Frodo.  If you couldn't guess Stanley and Frodo are brothers.  While they debated over if it was dragging out the “w” for the proper howl or the “h” the rest of us figured it was howling time so we continued on with each of our own version of the howl.

"Can I have Tecumseh in the grooming room please?" I could hear coming from Brian's radio.  OoOo grooming room, I wonder what's in there.  Brian sent me out of the group and I was escorted to the grooming room.  Who do I see in the grooming room but Brigitte the groomer!  I guess that's what in the grooming room.  Sniff sniff, hmm, that's smell must not be me.  Brigitte must have wanted company...  Nope, mom must have decided I was getting a little stinky.  Bath time!  At first I wasn't too sure if I was going to be a fan I must admit I was a little nervous.  But once I got in the tub and was getting scrubbed and brushed it was just what I needed.  I hot a deshedding treatment that was simply amazing I got all that thick undercoat out, I felt like I lost ten pounds in hair alone!  And I got a nice soothing oatmeal bath, ahhhh my dry itchy skin instantly started feeling better.  Once I get home I will have to thank mom for my spa day, it was exactly what I needed!

After spending some quality time with Brigitte I was brought to my own private room.  I had a big bowl of water setup for me with a nice comfy blanket.  I was exhausted from my spa day so I decided to rest a little.  Dave came to visit me and give me some loving; he spent some time petting me.  The royal treatment today, oh boy!  What a lucky dog I am!  Then Dave took me outside and I got to play ball.  I really enjoy chasing the tennis ball in the yard.  I was trying to stay clean so I had my own personal me afternoon, all of us need a little one on one time don't you think?

Grumble grumble... Oh I could hear my tummy rumbling.  Must be almost time to go take the bus home and once I get home... Dinner!  Tecumseh, what number are you? Doug asked.  I don't know, math is not my strong point.  No worries though Doug figured out what number I was and got me leashed up.  So long folks it’s time for me to hit the road, see you tomorrow!
